Patent GB-319615-A (GB)
Abstract: 319,615. International Time Recording- Co. of New York, (Assignees of Ogsbury, J. S.). Sept. 24, 1928, [Convention date]. Factory and like time-recorders, dial-type.-In apparatus of the dial type wherein each line of a time sheet on a drum is adapted to be adjusted to the printing position opposite a time controlled printing device by means of a manually operated lever an additional printing mechanism is provided for selectively printing upon the time sheet the workmen's names or identifying characters. In the form shown a drum 2, Fig. 1, is adjustable angularly by means of a lever 6 which co-operates with holes in a dial plate 8 the pressing of the lever into a hole causing a. movement of the time printing mechanism 1 to effect an impression on the time sheet carried by the drum 2. A second drum 10 on a shaft 12 carried in bearings 13, 14, Fig. 3, in a pivoted frame 16 has interchangeable type slugs 11 adapted to be brought into contact with the time sheet through an interposed ink-ribbon 21 carried by the frame. The pressing of the drum into contact with the time sheet is effected by a handle 28 on a pivoted plate 26 operatively connected through a tie rod 25 to a lug on the frame 16. The drum 10 is maintained in normal position by a spring-pressed ball 19 thereon engaging a grooved pin 18 on the frame and to secure proper relative adjustment between the drum and time sheet the dial 8, Fig. 5 carries a member 22 with a pin 30, engaging one of the adjusting holes and with lugs 31, 32, Fig. 1, forming stops for the stem 29 of the lever 6. The lever and drum 2 can be rotated through a revolution thus carrying around the drum 10 to effect the printing operation when the handle 28 is held depressed. The type slugs 11 are held in position on the drum by means of a disc 37 loosely mounted on the shaft 12 and provided with a spring plate 38 having a pin 39 passing through a hole in the drum. The disc has a circumferential slot which occupies a position at which there are no slugs. To replace a slug the pin 39 is withdrawn and the disc is rotated to bring the slot to the desired position whereupon the slug can be exchanged, the disc being then returned to normal position. A modification ot the adjusting means for the type drum 10 is described comprising a projecting member on the drum which can be moved into engagement with the usual slot 34 which serves to fasten the time sheet on the drum 2. Instead of an inking- ribbon, inking-rollers may be provided the same being pressed against the type drum by means of a spring.

Abstract: 1319105 Metal vapour lamps PATENTTREUHAND - GES FUR ELEKTRISCHE GLUHLAMPEN mbH 3 July 1970 [25 July 1969] 32451/70 Heading H1D A low pressure Hg vapour discharge lamp, e.g. a fluorescent lamp, with a power input of less than 0À7 W/cm., contains an indiumamalgam as a main amalgam determining the equilibrium operating vapour pressure with an In-Hg wt. ration of 12 : 1 to 3 : 1, (e.g. 6 : 1), the main amalgam or the respective amalgamforming metal 12 being located at positions adjacent the lamp ends within the lamp which have an operating temperature of from 80 to 110 C., (e.g. 95 C.), the lamp containing one or more additional amalgams or amalgam forming metals accelerating the run-up of the lamp in places which are much hotter during run-up of the lamp than the position of the main amalgam, the additional amalgams attaining their operation temperature earlier than the main amalgam. The additional amalgam is preferably an indium alloy, applied on the electrode cap. A place of low heat capacity closer to the electrode than that of the main amalgam such as a stem pinch with a spray deposited spot of indium is suitable for a second run up amalgam, this amalgam delivering Hg after the amalgam on the electrode cap, but before the main amalgam. The In may be sprayed in liquid state on to an electrode stem flare as an annular film, Fig. 1 shows exhaust tube 8, electrode coil 9 pasted with oxide, surrounded by annular metal cap 10 of sheet iron, with amalgam forming metal strip 11, preferably In-Sn-Pb in wt. ratio 2 : 6 : 2, in amount 5 to 10 mgrms., stem flare 4 with 60 grms. of indium metal 12 as main amalgam forming metal, and 5 to 10 mgrms. spray deposited In spot 13. Fig. 2 (not shown) illustrates luminous flux against ambient temperature for open batten type fittings, downwards opening reflector fittings, lowered fittings, trough-shaped and coffered fittings and moisture proof fittings. Fig. 3 (not shown) illustrates run up characteristics with two, one and no run up amalgams in curves 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Filed: 1937-12-03
Abstract: 506,753. Artificial fibres. HARRISON, W. Dec. 3, 1937, No. 33456. [Class 2 (ii)] For the production of artificial fibres of constant composition and properties from proteids or proteins, there are employed for spinning solutions of proteids prepared with the aid of alkali compounds of phenol as solvents. Phenols employed are phenol, cresol, xylenols. and naphthols, whilst the alkali used may be caustic soda, potash, lithia, baryta, a quaternary ammonium base, or a tertiary sulphonium base. The phenol and caustic alkali may be mixed and subsequently added to the protein, or the protein may be dissolved in caustic alkali with subsequent addition of the phenol, in either case the amount of phenol employed being in molecular proportion to the caustic alkati used. Coagulating baths employed contain a solution of a salt of the same metal or base as that present in the caustic alkali, in a concentration not less than present in the protein solution, a neutralizing agent, e.g. mineral or organic acid, acid salt, or ammoniuin salt, and an assistant. The filaments may be submitted to tensioning and hardening treatments. In an example, the coagulating bath contains a solution, at a temperature below 60‹ C., of anhydrous sodium sulphate, acidified with sulphuric acid with naphthalene sulphonic acid as an assistant. The solution may also contain salts of ammonia or metallic salts such as zinc sulphate.
